when animating variable font weights remember to include tighter... optical sizing to maintain the width of the textshow more

Seems like a good opportunity to share a trick... I used on the React Aria website to make headings scale to fit the viewport on mobile, even with SSR. I used fontkit, a library I wrote 10 years ago to parse fonts and layout glyphs, to measure the width of the heading at build time in the "em" unit. width = font.layout('DateRangePicker').advanceWidth / font.unitsPerEm This is a size independent measurement using the font's internal metrics. When multiplied by any font size, you get the pixel width of the text. To calculate the font size, set this as a CSS variable and divide the target width (100vw minus padding). Clamp to make sure it doesn't get too big or small. font-size: clamp(35px, (100vw - 32px) / var(--text-width), 55px) And tada! You have perfectly scaling text no matter the viewport size. 🎉show more

woke up last night to write down this idea... for a fluid navigation bar thing that uses variable font width and weight to signify selection state. it feels very fun to play with and squish aroundshow more

animating weight... i love variable fonts

One of my first obsessions with AI was portals.... I remember when MJ v5 was released, I generated around 5000 different portals, dreaming of one day animating them. Today, a 'simple' text-to-video prompt can do this... How amazing is this? PROMPT 👇show more

Finally got variable width working in procedural rivers using... a world space post process so they feel less roadlike. I'm thinking it would be good to add wider = slower and thinner = faster, and maybe increase the depth of the carving in thinner sections? iPad Pro (2020).show more
